Rare 1981 Toyota Trekker 4 Wheel Drive 5 Speed R22 Straight Axles New Fenders on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States
|
This rare Toyota Trekker is one of 1500 built as collaboration between Winnebago and Toyota (I listed it under 4 Runner since eBay didn’t have a Trekker category and 1980 because eBay won’t take my VIN as a 1981). It was the forerunner to the Toyota 4Runner. From the cab back is all fiberglass, thus no rust. There is seating for two in the back. I am the second owner of this vehicle. I bought it in 1984 with 16,961 miles on it. It now has 209,826 miles. I have babied it for the 30 years I have had it. I have always taken the approach that I would keep it forever when having work done on it. Besides oil changes, I made a rule to have it worked on at dealers when possible. I have always used OME parts when they were available, including Toyota oil and air filters (and the new front fenders, which are now unavailable). In 30 years it has only failed to start twice. For a 33 year vehicle with 200k miles it is in amazing shape. It has many upgrades including a new radio (Retro Sound), driver’s seat (Recaro), back seat (Baja), new upholstery and headliner. I had the exhaust piping and muffler system replaced two summers ago. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 at 183,171 miles. The front seats have retractable shoulder and lap belts. The back seat has lap belts and headrests for two small people. It has good tires with plenty of tread left on them. BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A 30x9.50 R15LT. It has Smitty Built bumpers and rocker bars. It has a 2” receiver hitch and 7 pin plug socket for towing. It’s not much of a tow vehicle and I’ve only really used the hitch for a bike rack! It has a roof rack that comes with it. In 2010 I had a cheap paint job which is not holding up very well. I did put new OME front fenders on at that time so there is very little rust on the vehicle. It has lived out west so it hasn’t seen any salt but has endured so amazing winters. I have most of the original paperwork, owner’s manual, repair manual and some old flyers for the Trekker. This has been my only vehicle for the past 30 years! I know it inside and out and have taken very good care of it. I’ve never done serious 4 wheeling with it, only dirt roads and Montana winters. It’s been all over the US so a lot of the miles are highway. It is not perfect but it’s one of the nicer Trekkers still on the road. It is now in Bozeman Montana inside a storage facility but it has not been garaged its whole life. I highly recommend coming to Bozeman to pick it up and do some fishing or camping along the way. Summer will be here in a month or two! I am the second owner of this vehicle and bought it in 1984 from the dealer in Townsend Montana. I would prefer a cash deal but am open to other possibilities. It is certainly drivable but I would trailer it because of the front axle seals. Remember it is in Bozeman Montana. I used it as my daily driver until November 2013 when I garaged it. I thought I would do a show quality restoration and then my children turned into teenagers! I want them driving something with airbags! Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions. |

Suzuki will road-test EVs in India, start production with Toyota in 2020
Fri, Sep 7 2018NEW DELHI — Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp will start testing prototypes of electric vehicles in India by October, its chairman said on Friday. "We will start road-running tests using a fleet of 50 EV prototype vehicles in India from next month in order to develop safe and easy-to-use EVs for Indian customers," Osamu Suzuki said at the Global Mobility Summit at New Delhi. The company would then launch EVs in India around 2020 in cooperation with Toyota, he added. However, Suzuki said that for EVs to become popular in India, there had to be well-developed charging infrastructure. "In this regard, we look forward to proactive leadership from the Indian government," he said. The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a plan to electrify all new vehicles by 2030, a target many experts call ambitious. EVs are expensive due to the high cost of batteries which are still not manufactured in India, and carmakers say a lack of charging stations could make the proposition unviable. Suzuki, parent of India's top-selling automaker, Maruti Suzuki, would start production of lithium-ion batteries for automobiles at its plant in western India from 2020, Suzuki said. India is one of the world's fastest-growing car markets, but EV sales are negligible compared with millions of petrol and diesel cars sold every year. Suzuki said to meet India's environmental challenges, the government would have to look at hybrid and CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicles also.Related Video:
177k Toyota Camry Hybrids being recalled for brake issue
Mon, 11 Aug 2014It looks like Consumer Reports might be getting part of what it wants regarding the Toyota Camry Hybrid and its braking system. Toyota is issuing what it calls a limited service campaign, rather than a full recall, covering about 177,500 of the hybrid sedans from the 2007 through 2011 model years because of an issue with the cars' brake fluid reservoirs.
The models have a filter separating two chambers of the brake fluid reservoir, and the part can get clogged over time. If this happens, the fluid level in one of the chambers can get too low and eventually cause the power assist to fail. There are multiple warning lights on the dashboard that illuminate over time if the filter gets obstructed, though. The company is replacing the entire reservoir with an improved unit, and the fix takes about two hours to perform.
Consumer Reports recently began asking for a recall on these models for the potentially clogged filters. The magazine also reported a second issue with the ABS brake actuator that could lead to a difficult to depress brake, but Toyota has increased the warranty on the part to 10 years or 150,000 miles.
Toyota Aygo, Citro?n C1 to join Peugeot 108 in Geneva
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Just the other day, Peugeot took the wraps off the new 108. But its new city car, like the 107 it replaces, doesn't stand on its own. The 107 was a sister vehicle to not only the Citroën C1 but also the Toyota Aygo. So it should come as little surprise that, while Peugeot was the first to release photos and details on its version, Citroën and Toyota will also be on hand with their own versions when the veils lift on all three at the Geneva Motor Show.
We're expecting the new trio of budget-oriented hatchbacks to bear the fruits of individual efforts to distinguish themselves one from another more than their predecessors, which essentially looked the same save for different badges. But from the teaser image above, we'd venture that the Toyota version will be a further departure from the 108 than the C1 will be.
One way or another we'll have to wait and see, but for now you can view Toyota's teaser clip below, along with the press releases confirming the debut of both in Geneva next month.
